Female Novel
Chapter 2149
Two days later at FC Manor in Annenburg, a private plane landed at the private airport.
Jane and Ben were waiting there.
When they saw Zachary and Serenity disembark from the plane, the couple smiled as they approached
them.
Accompanying the couple on their return was Remy.
Originally, Remy wanted to come back earlier, but he could not bear to be separated from Elisa. Elisa
had to go on a business trip, so she said she would rush over on the day of the 100-day-old
celebration.
Knowing that Zachary and Serenity were heading to Annenburg a few days early, Remy hitched a ride
on Zachary’s private plane and came back with them.
“Serenity,” Jane called out with a smile.
She then nodded toward Zachary. “Mr. Zachary, long time no see.”
Zachary responded with a smile, “Indeed, it has been a long time.”
He shook hands with Ben, and the two CEOs even embraced each other briefly before letting go.
Afterward, Zachary shook hands with Jane.
Finally, Remy, who had just disembarked, intentionally shouted, “Big brother, sister-in-law, do you only
see Zachary and Serenity? Don’t you see that I’m back too?”
Ben smiled and lightly punched his brother’s arm, then looked back toward the plane.
He did not see Elisa, so he asked his brother, “Where’s Ms. Stone? Weren’t you supposed to bring her
back too?”
Remy helplessly said, “Elisa had a sudden business trip. She said she would try her best to come on
the day of the banquet. If she couldn’t make it, she asked me to attend on her behalf.
“She prepared gifts for several children and asked me to bring them.”
Every time Remy and Elisa agreed to return to FC Manor, she always had some urgent matters to deal
with at the last minute.
The current Elisa was like a superwoman, who valued her business greatly, and Remy could not do
anything about it.
As long as there was any issue in their business, Elisa would insist on attending to it, even if Serenity
said that she would handle it. If Serenity was busy, it was all the more reason for Elisa to attend to
these matters.
Jasmine could not go on business trips even if she wanted to. She was pregnant with Josh’s flesh and
blood. Not even Elisa and Serenity would allow Jasmine to run around, let alone Josh.
Serenity said apologetically, “Elisa went on the business trip when it was supposed to be my
responsibility. She went in my stead so I could come over.”
Elisa knew that Serenity adored Jane’s children, thus she insisted that Serenity and Zachary come over
to FC Manor first. She thought Serenity should spend a couple of days there, spend some time with
Chloe, and bask in the positive energy of the place. Who knew that maybe when she came back from
FC Manor, she might be blessed with a daughter in her womb.
Serenity knew that each day she did not get pregnant, people who cared for her would feel worried
about her.
Even her aunt, who was not superstitious, began to pray to God every couple of days.
She would pray that Serenity be blessed with a child soon.
Zachary told others that he and Serenity were on birth control, which would explain why Serenity had
not gotten pregnant yet.
However, through her authority as an elder, Aunt Audrey had gotten the truth from Serenity, that the
couple did not use any contraception at all.
Seeing that Serenity still had not gotten pregnant when their one-year anniversary was around the
corner, it was almost impossible for Aunt Audrey to not get anxious.
Having married into a wealthy family for several decades, she understood well the pressure faced by a
daughter-in-law in an affluent household.
Not getting pregnant six months into marriage was well expected. However, the fact that Serenity had
not gotten pregnant almost one year into their marriage made her worry about her niece’s health. She
was afraid that Serenity was infertile.
Regardless of how open-minded Zachary and his family members were, could they really withstand the
pressure of not having an heir?novelbin
